Sould As The Alpha King's Breeder

Chapter 202 Hold Tight

“Ethan,” I said as I walked into his tent.

He was sitting on his makeshift desk, looking at the reports and making marks on a map. It had been a few days since we’d talked about anything substantial,

.

“I’m okay, but I have some news and I figured you should know.”

He put aside what he was doing, paused for a moment, and asked tentatively, “You’ve got news from Soren?”

It was as if he could read my mind. I sighed, “Yes and no, that’s why I wanted to talk to you. My scouts caught up with him, and we confirmed that it was Damian causing chaos in Kal’s ranks.”

He smiled and commented, “That’s good news. His plan worked. Brilliant!”

I was a bit surprised. It wasn’t often to hear Ethan admit someone else had come up with a brilliant plan. It was nice to hear him pay Soren a compliment.

I nodded, “However, we lost contact with Soren afterward.”

His smile faded and was replaced with a frown.

“The scout couldn’t get in touch with him and I’m really worried…”

Deep down, I knew that there wasn’t anything Ethan could do about it either, but I just thought I’d feel better sharing it with him.

Ethan guided me to sit down on his cot and crouched down with one knee kneeled in front of me, his voice was deep and soothing. “I’m worried about him too, but let’s have faith in him. I used to underestimate Soren, but he had proven me wrong. I believe he’s got everything planned out and he is capable of protecting himself.”

I nodded, but I was still unsettled.

Ethan tentatively reached out to hold my hand. Seeing that I didn’t pull it away, he patted it gently and added, “Besides, no news is good news.”

I looked into his eyes, and I could tell he said all that not because he was heartless, but because he truly believed in Soren.

There was tenderness in his once-icy eyes, and I found myself lost in that pair of intense blue orbs.
